GISDepartment of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies

This course aims at understanding the application of human-mimicking technologies (AI, NLP, sensors, robotics, augmented reality, etc.) to create, communicate, deliver, and enhance value across the customer journey.

Students will understand the current challenges that marketers deal with in a modern society (e.g., generation gap, COVID-19, digital divide). Based on that, students will learn the role of human-like technologies in addressing such challenges and marketing customers effectively. In this line, predictive marketing, contextual marketing, and augmented marketing will be covered. Finally, students will practically learn how to apply what they have learned and how to devise feasible solutions by performing group projects.

Will be able to gain “DP 1”, “DP 2”, “DP 3”, and “DP 4”.
